One of the most impressive and probably the scarcest 1976 Montreal Olympics souvenir you can obtain is this official ceremonial Wilkinson presentation sword. The elaborately engraved blade features the 11-point Canadian maple leaf with "XXIst Olympiad Montreal MCMLXXVI" along with the Wilkinson Sword logo that reads, "By appointment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Sword Cutlers" and "Made in England". The City of Montreal's coat of arms is displayed beneath, just above the hilt. Measuring approx 44 ½” in length, these amazing limited-edition swords were presented to dignitaries from each country present at the Montreal Olympics games, as well as select IOC committee members, and are very rarely seen, with this particular sword stamped with the limited-edition number of “302” along an edge of the blade just above the hilt.
The other side of the blade exhibits a small blemish, with the sword otherwise exhibiting just light wear, with a tiny bit of chipping along the top of the wooden handle. A small holder/wall mount is also included.
